Drayton Florence taking physical

I think Josh Thomas can be a great CB down the road. Definitely has long term potential. He is already a solid number 2, maybe not a number 1, gotta give him and Dockery a chance to develop. They have at least earned it. It only helps us if they turn out being pretty good.

Yea, but Thomas and Dockery aren't the long term answers. Florence of signed is a 1year plugger. Right now, all we have is Norman. Gotta think that Gettleman will try building for the future. A Corner has to be address through the draft. If we're going into this 2013 season with this secondary, we're set for failure.

How do you know Thomas and Dockery arent the answer? Because they were cut by other teams* Were not high draft picks? What makes you so certain they are not the answer?

Theyre no Chris Gamble, let me tell you that. Thomas can be a really good nickle corner. Dockery is your 3rd option kind of guy. It is what it is. If you think that we found two diamonds in the rough, I dont know what to say. They're definitely not starting NFL corners. Im no fortune teller, but Im not dumb enough to believe that we've found two future long term answers in Thomas and Dockery. Its up to you to believe what you want to believe.

I would hate to see us go into 2013 with a secondary of Norman, Thomas, Dockery, Florence?, Naka, and Godfrey.

i don't think we're going into next season with this secondary or WR corps. both will be improved.

Josh "ten yard cushion so my slow ass doesn't get burnt" Norman, the guy who got severely outplayed by both Thomas and Dockery in a pretty lol manner, is the only CB we have going forward?

If Norman doesn't have some miraculous improvement going into this season there is no reason for him to see the field over Thomas or Dockery. He is terrible.

he was a rookie starting who then hit his rookie wall.

no reason to think that he won't be better next year. it's not like you can expect every rookie to light it up right away like kuechly did. norman's a tape rat and has a killer work ethic. he'll be better next year.

still...i don't see us heading into the season without upgrades to the existing secondary.

I hope so. I just don't understand the love for this guy. As a Panther I hope he turns into an All Pro but there has never been any of evidence to suggest he can play in the NFL. He is a poo talker and people love him for it. He gets a pass for the coaches telling him to give a cushion despite the coaches saying they benched him for doing so on his own.

    • ^I want that, but Rodriguez over KC. Don't hate KC as much at that spot, but rather take a WR with the pick we gain in that trade than in the 1st. 
    • I think there is good points in this thread to what the team needs to do. 1) Ball isn't really the issue but, he needs reigned in.  Coach and he need to realize when things aren't falling from the three and learn to play other facets of the game.  He's an amazing talent and when he's on, he's on.  But he can also shoot you out of a game.  We're lucky Miami went that way but that is too many missed threes.  He still needs to bulk up if he can, but he needs to drive more.  He's pretty good at finishing usually and hopefully the fouls come (probably not though).   2) The whole team needs to be more physical.  As others have stated, we need more bulk in our bigs.  Diabate is a hurricane of energy but cannot go against the larger centers.  I love him on the team but he should be more of a match up type guy or energy off the bench.  I think he'd be insane off the bench.  However I think the biggest issue with Diabate and Kaulk is the lack of offensive game.  The lack of a jump shot or anything.  Teams figured out to just leave them on the screen and crash lanes.  There has to be some sort of threat.  We need a 4 and a 5 that can do those things and stretch out the court. 3) Bridges.  He's just undersized.  However, I feel he really threw his all into it the last few weeks when others were gassed.  He was ok not being a focal point.  I'd like to have him off the bench as well but I assume he'd be traded to make things work.  4) Miller.  Dude can light it up when on, but disappears for quarters at a time.  Also he needs to work on ball handling and passing.  He's a turnover machine at bad times.  Also hopefully over the injury so he can bulk up too.   5) Kon. Just a rookie.  Long season and back injury.  I have no doubt he'll be back stronger and focused.  Needs to work on defense and physicality like the whole team but yes, a rookie he'll get there. 6) Coby.  Has to be resigned, no question.  The bench lineup is rough without him running the point.  Team has big potential and the front office seems sharp.  They seen the hive and how crazy it got and how much the city wants this.
